Its great that new people are getting into the sport. At the same time I think (at least my ranges) need to make sure these people are well aware of safe practice. Myself and a few friends were shooting up at 15yds. A couple of guys walked up to about the 17-18 line and begin to fire, with no less than a snubby 44mag. Granted we were not in direct line but IMO that means you are shooting past me. I quickly called a sieze fire and corrected them. I feel that the RO's should walk the firing line with newbs at least once. I certainly dont mind giving someone a tip, but that could easily have ended up very bad.
